On April 23rd, we hosted another Virtual Lunch and Learn Webinar, and this time, we tackled one of the biggest cybersecurity misconceptions: that firewalls alone are enough to protect your network.


Thanks to our sponsor, Threater, attendees gained expert insights into how modern cyber threats easily slip past traditional defenses—and what you can do to stop them in their tracks. Plus, everyone who joined us live enjoyed a $30 Grubhub credit to fuel their learning!


Key takeaways included:

  • Why relying on firewalls alone puts your organization at serious risk

  • How real-time threat blocking eliminates 30–50% of malicious traffic before it even hits your firewall

  • Ways to integrate proactive security without adding complexity

  • How this approach delivers immediate ROI by reducing alert fatigue and empowering your SOC team


This session featured actionable advice and a closer look at Threater’s cutting-edge preemptive cybersecurity technology, giving attendees the tools to move from reactive defense to proactive protection.
